Eurail and other train passes should be purchased before leaving for Europe. There are a few major cities (London, for example) where some types of passes may be available if you can prove that you have been in Europe for less than six months, but they cost several hundred dollars more than if purchased outside of Europe. It is far easier to buy a pass before you leave. If you are already in Europe, as a student, for example, you can have a pass bought for you and sent out with a moderate amount of difficulty. Contact any pass vendor {listed in Basics #2) for specific information.
